Add-on Acessories

From the large black and red MSI GAMING Series case badge to the blacked-out rear I/O shield and SLI bridge, the MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING board's solid theme shines through with each and every part; all-black with a few hints of red here and there.


Even the driver disc and its protective sleeve are black, and that SLI bridge I mentioned is pictured above.


The two other accessories that come with the MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING are a set of cables to be used with the V-Check points on the board (you need a multi-meter to read live system voltages directly), and a set of M-Connector headers. The clearly labeled M-Connector headers are plastic blocks with pass-through pins. You can plug your case cables into these before connecting the "assembled" M-Connector block to the board itself, which allows you to plug the wires into the block outside of the case rather than having to squint into the depths of your case with a flashlight in one hand and the manual in the other.
